Roger Hecht sends on some Zem reccomendations:

>Der Geburtstag der Infantin (The Dwarf). Another fine lyrical opera.

Hmm, is that also adapted from Wilde? He has a story by that name...a great
great story.

Were Wilde & Zemlinsky acquainted? I don't have Oscar's dates handy, but
looking at Zem's and searching my memory it I think they were somewhat
contemporaneous.  How many Wilde plays/stories did he adapt/write music
for?

I seem to recall a Dorian Gray opera but I can't find it...Has anyone
ever done one? How about an "Importance of Being Ernest" opera?

Ah, but I digress...oh, Oscar...
